Explore key elements such as enhanc ed fabric efficiency\, low-carbon heating systems (with heat pumps becomin g the default)\, solar PV integration by default\, improved ventilation\, and 'zero carbon ready' design that aligns with future grid decarbonisatio n.\n\n\nThe Home Energy Model (HEM): Understand HEM as the government's ne xt-generation methodology set to replace the longstanding Standard Assessm ent Procedure (SAP). Learn about its more accurate\, detailed simulation o f energy use (including factors like thermal bridging and real-world perfo rmance)\, its role as the primary long-term compliance tool for the FHS (v ia the ECaaS platform)\, and the phased rollout with a delay ensuring robu stness.\n\n\nSAP 10.3 as the Interim Bridge: Clarify why SAP 10.3 has been introduced as the sole approved methodology at FHS launch\, with HEM foll owing after a minimum 3-month delay. Explore the dual-running period (at l east 24 months once HEM is available)\, how SAP 10.3 supports FHS complian ce using updated notional building targets\, and tips for a smooth transit ion between the two systems.\n\n\n \nThis is followed by an open floor dis cussion and networking session to close the meeting.

This ensures you will get the right name on your CPD certi ficate (if applicable)\,\n(If there is less than 24 hours to go\, please c heck your junk / spam folder before contacting us to say you haven't recei ved the link. It will probably be there. If it is not then do contact even ts@proficiency.services but don't leave it to the last minute. Once we hav e started to set up for the session we will not be able to take calls or r espond to emails).\nPlease also ensure you have tested your set up and bot h your audio and video are working. If we cannot see you are present we ma y not be able to issue you with a CPD certificate. If you know in advance that you will not have video capability\, please email events@proficiency. services and we will agree an alternative way in which the organisers can verify you were actually present (and hopefully paying attention) for the entire session.\nIf you need to briefly deal with something like an urgent phone call during the session\, please turn your video off whilst you do so to avoid a distraction to other attendees. Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged per iods of absence or where video is off so you could be absent\, will preven t us being able to issue a CPD certificate. This verification of your pres ence is essential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certi ficates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. \n (There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial attendance at an event). https://proficiency.services/events/past- events/event/416-cpd-speaker-meeting-17th-march-2026-future-homes-standard -hem-and-sap-10-3 DTSTART:20260317T160000Z DTEND:20260317T173000Z LOCATION:Online () SUMMARY:CPD Speaker Meeting (17th March 2026) - Future Homes Standard\, HEM and SAP 10.3 URL:https://proficiency.services/events/past-events/event/416-cpd-speaker-m eeting-17th-march-2026-future-homes-standard-hem-and-sap-10-3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
